Estimating energy expenditure from accelerometer data in healthy adults and patients with type 2 diabetes
Objective The aim of this study was to develop specific prediction equations based on
acceleration data measured at three body sites for estimating energy expenditure (EE)
during static and active conditions in middle-aged and older adults with and without type 2
diabetes (T2D). Research methods Forty patients with T2D (age: 40–74 yr, body mass index
(BMI): 21–29.4 kg· m− 2) and healthy participants (age: 47–79 yr, BMI: 20.2–29.8 kg· m− 2)
completed trials in both static conditions and treadmill walking. For all trials, gas exchange …
